I seen 7 hens and 2 Toms Wednesday before Thanksgiving walked through the clover.

Did the same thing Thanksgiving morning.. Shooter locked down on a doe. Dinner would have tasted so much better with success.

Plain and simple; I enjoy hunting. Always been the outdoors type. Working on plans for an all terrain wheel chair, just in case.

Promote the sport, and it will continue. Change it will, but it's up to we the hunters, to keep the tradition alive. My best bow season yet; no deer harvested but my grand children sure learned a lot. They read the basic hunting course on line. Then I was honored to give instruction in the field. Best part was, they didn't know the second part of the coarse was being taught. Hopefully, they will continue to learn, as I ; through out their hunting experiences.

Friday afternoon sit. Wow, someone flipped a switch and it became winter. Few flurries is all, here. Wind is pounding in daylight. Drops off when sun sits.. Had deer in the clover, in bow range, 5 minutes after legal light., when the wind dropped off. Saturday morning, deer in cover before 6:20.

Figure a damp drizzley day. Figure a big shooter shows at a distance The deals getting close, but just quite get the icing right.

If the hunters, that are out there are not seeing deer, won't hear the shots. I know for a fact here, deer went more into cover, the last few days of crossbow. Another fact is more hunter oriented people are purchasing properties, land to hunt on, thus reducing the amount of vehicles on and along the roadways. Not as many hunters, maybe,; but the style of hunting has changed for sure.

Hunting the open till 7; then entering the woods along a brushy area. Don't take long, deer surface. A lot of vegetation still on the willow yet. Now to be in the right spot at the right time

Some were manufactured for trouble. Lifes easier not using them; and a whole lot cheaper too.

Had this large flock of geese fly over few minutes ago.

I noticed a growing trend in society, people refuse to take blame for their own actions. They will blame it on every other excuse, except the real one. Everybody screws up, accept it and take responsibility for what is done. Learn by ones mistakes.

I guess it all depends how you view deer hunting from a personal aspect. I don't want it to get modernized to a point where the fun and excitement are diminished. Being in the midst of nature has been most of the fun for me. It has an awful lot to teach, willing to learn. Maybe as I age, the thrill of participation is more thrilling than to harvest of a deer. I'm sure we're throw one in, now and again thou.

Some wanted snow. You got it. All liquid here, not even a flake.

It something that has been on my mind for several seasons now. Well, this year, we entirely stopped using trail cams. We started using them when 35 mm. cameras were in them. Progressed right up to the modern day cell cams. Now you may ask, why would they do such a thing? Many reasons, really. I just liked the way it was before trail cameras exsisted. I like to show the grand children how it use to be. Change is good, makes for new excitement. Making new memories, the old fashion way. And it's not a senior moment either,lol. I may cave sometime in the future IDK; but for now, the trail cams are in the box and all of us are really enjoying, this deer hunting season. How do you feel about trail cameras?

Yes, she signed it September 30th this year. Their were a few areas in the county that opted out. Rob Ortt, along with a ton of help, got it done. It amazes me how many people are still using shotguns here. Good reasons for that, no doubt. We waited for years for this, and finally got it. Really nice to rage out with accuracy now. I also feel a riffle is far safer, if used properly.

Tuesday afternoon sits. Bumped 4 50 yards from the door yard. ;Deer still eating clover and wheat. Can sure tell which deer have been shot at. This morning is drizzle. It's so foggy, you can't even see.

First-light, you've been having some great success around you. Hope you keep up the good work. Well, I just know their in here!

Discretion must be used with all weapons. Location and weather conditions play a Hugh role in determining when not to shoot. If it safe to do so and still in legal light, by all means. I still remember my hunting instructors saying; remember once you pull the trigger, you can't bring it back. Make dam sure of your back drop.

Been watching this tree with no action this year, then Saturday night, boom. This is the six straight year, this rub has freshen. It's ten yards from our main tree stand.

Lot of movement this afternoon. Nice to see things back to usual. Couple sixes showed, along with the doe. No buck action. I expect that to pick back up by the 25th I

Why do you think the bucks are walking in that? You should see some of the tickets were hunting in; that's nothing.

Strange thing: no shots this morning. First week of firearms? Must be recouping time from all the celebrations yesterday from the Bills win .

I know deer were feeding earlier Saturday, in the moonlight. Sunday was cloudy here, they still fed early.

Bumped 7 deer on the way out yesterday morning feeding in the moon light. Front blind sit for 3 hours ,nothing. The afternoon sits was more eventful with deer in the pumpkins, and the clover. No bucks. This morning sit involved raking leaves and cracking sticks getting into the woods with my feet. Ten minutes into the sit, deer start showing up feeding on green leaves on the bushes. Had a 6 point come in with tree branch antlers very close. Looked like an antlered doe.

Quite a day. Lucky for that harness.
